Music Theory Lesson

Sometimes people think that Music Theory is a useless subject: if you just want to enjoy playing your instrument, why should you learn about the theory?

That is a big misunderstanding! Music Theory is a fascinating subject and has a vital importance in your learning path, specially if you plan to join groups, ensembles or orchestras.

Thanks to Music Theory lessons you won't feel anymore overwhelmed by the number of sharps or flats in your music, you will memorize your scales and arpeggios with ease, you will be able to improvise on your instrument, having a better understanding of what you are doing and why.

Music theory exams are compulsory as well for all the RCM practical exams on violin, viola and cello for Level 5 and higher. This does not mean that you can start learning theory only when your playing level is already more advanced. The sooner you will learn about theory, the better you will improve on your string instrument!!
